I’m not hating on your goal. Also not weighing in on if it is tiny or big. I had a wild hair up my tail towards the middle of last week. I have about 23 years of scrapbooks, and 12 ish years of DD (most are 2 6x8’s) I never settled on spine insert labels. I have two years PL albums 2014-2015 with spine labels. I just decided to label a lot of them. It’s literally scrap paper and a little ink. I don’t love how it turned out- but I like it.. so I did a number of years. I’m going to keep playing with it and maybe come up with a formula I like. But I’m happy to have SOMETHING. Literally… small lol but happy! This sounds huge!!!
My other goal is to put away December daily by end of day Saturday. I’m done and it’s time
I've decided this is my Saturday goal as well. Then I'm going to clean up my cart and get my Disney stuff back out.
I'll photograph my swatches tomorrow if there's any daylight.

My goal is to finish a layout. I'm very close to being done with it. I just need some finishing touches, sew on the title because these particular FJ puffy letter stickers don't stick, and journaling.

I am trying to do 120 pages in the next 120 days. Who knows if I'll get there. Maybe. The one thing that is stopping me (hindering might be a better word) is my need to organize. I have 18 pages done already (so two pages behind), but today I got a wild hair to move my Time Holtz inks out of an Alex drawer and put in Home Edit bathroom line of storage. It's cute, but probably not needed. So then I put my inks back into my cassette (think 1980's cassette storage) and wanted to label the inks with the color on the side as well as their name. SO that happened this afternoon. My goal is to get four pages done tomorrow and be caught up again. I have spent at least 6 hours organizing in the last two days.

I printed the ranger ink Distress Oxide label page earlier this week to have the latest list. My other goal is to put away December daily by end of day Saturday. I’m done and it’s time Dec Daily is put away! Now I’m going to try to finish PL 2022. Mainly just December and one week of November. |

I use my inks a lot more since searching them. I just use the Tom holtz 8.5”x11” swatch sheets. It helps me not just pull black out of laziness which is what I would normally do.
My goal this weekend is to take photos of my projects. I have been creating and just stacking them up. Today I took photos I liked of about half of them. Tomorrow I will finish the other half and start this weekends memory planning spread.
I also was looking for a sheet of acetate ( found it at the bottom of my 3rd paper bin). While I was flipping through o found some love themed and party papers I would like for my February kit. So I’m ahead on that. I may try to pull some embellishments and project life cards.

I love this idea of setting tiny little goals!
I have two: to add the journaling to the layout I shared the other day.
And in an effort to use more of my stash, I want to challenge myself to add three more things to my layouts once I think they're done.

I have one more little goal to add. I bought a new HS roller date stamp and I want to pull it apart and re-order the rollers so it reads date/month/year.

Linda I learnt how to do it from this youtube video: how to change the date format on roller stampsI've done it on all the US date format roller date stamps I've bought over the years and use them all a lot more as a result. ETA: I've just done my stamp. I found it easier to replace that bottom flat bar before threading the round rod back through the holes on each side.

I got the best roller stamp on ebay. It has a cat handle.
I just looked for it and can't find it anywhere.
So I got my DD supplies put away.
I'm going to try to tackle my rolling cart next. I have a bin and a lidded box, both with random craft tools. I think I might start there and organize those. Downsize to just the one since I have the cart and it can be better organized.

Very excited to report that I almost met my goal for the weekend--I have three layouts largely completed. One I need to replace the photo on one after I accidentally got some mist on it, another is entirely done, and one just needs some mist/enamel dots. I'm off to order the replacement photo so I can add these to my total.

Nope missed my goal too. Did work on it a little, but our VRBO for spring break in Florida cancelled on Saturday and I am scrambling trying to find something else. I am not spending $5500 for just a hotel alone for 5 days in Florida. Not happening. Sadly hours or calls, researching, etc yields nothing (not surprising since it is less than 60 days before). Ugh. Lesson learned, no VRBO.

but our VRBO for spring break in Florida cancelled on Saturday How awful. Is there someplace cheaper/closer you can go? I made a lot of progress on my organizing. Two bins are now merged into one (got rid of some stuff, put a couple of things in the cart). The cart is organized. Next up: Putting the Disney paper back in the IKEA bin now that DD is put away. I also have some random embellishments I do not know how to store and a bin of stickers/die cuts that I need to work on. I really love doing stuff like that so maybe that will get done this week. |

I finally removed the extra coffee table that was cluttering up my craft room (it moved to make room for the Christmas tree) and put it back where it belongs in the family room. Now I can reach my light box and can photograph my layouts again, yay!
I also completed two layouts this weekend,including one for the bold pattern paper class.
Next up on the clean and oragnize list is the cart holding my cricut and other cutting tools.

to make swatches of all of my stamp pads. I started it but never finished it. So I don't know what I have and I can't keep buying various shades of teal because they're pretty. It's time to do this. I don't have it in my to put away the DD supplies yet. Too exhausting. And I'm not starting anything new until that's been put away. This seems reasonable to me. Anyone else setting the tiniest goals?
Swatching my ink pads was one of the best things I’ve done! |

Finish a page in my DD. I finished a 8.5x11 layout of something I just itching to scrap. First time I had scrapped that page size in a long time. Photos are already printed so hopefully I can get some time in. Blemon, Please share your favorite teal inks. My Heidi Swapp teal (which was my favorite) dried up and I just cannot seem to find a teal I love. (I looked at my swatch book) Heidi Swapp’s Teal is pretty close to Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide as far as color. |

I completed my goal a couple of days late but I'm happy I got it done. I'm going to live on the edge and set a goal for this week to complete two layouts. Note to self: that does include journaling.

I have an all day virtual crop this Saturday, and I am hoping to finish my scrapbook audit that day. And print rocket launch photos.
Seems achievable, let's see!

Good way to get us motivated blemon. And looks like everyone has been busy! sarahsprettypapers, hope the little one learns to love pants soon. Confession: I'm no good at organizing. Or apparently at re-organizing. But I do have a tiny goal for this weekend: sort through my Stickles and throw away the dried up ones. And if I manage to do that, then tackle my ink pad storage. |

But I do have a tiny goal for this weekend: sort through my Stickles and throw away the dried up ones. And if I manage to do that, then tackle my ink pad storage. This sounds reasonable and achievable. We did that recently with our puffy/fabric paint and it was actually very enjoyable. So fun to toss them in the trash from across the room like an NBA player. I have been getting little bits done! I got out the Disney paper and sorted it all and now my IKEA bin has paper in the back, alphabet stickers in the middle wide part, and 3X8s on the right middle. The front is mostly empty so room to grow (ha!). My rolling cart is organized as well. And then I did the biggest task of all: I sorted travel and all stickers. I had to move my loose travel stickers and die cuts into the bigger box my 3X4 cards were in. So I moved those down to the smaller box and they didn't fit (whomp whomp sound). I'm going to edit those down as I won't use most. I have all Disney stickers and die cuts in one 4X6 plastic bin so that's good. I've got a nice big donate pile that needs to go into a box. These little goals are definitely working for me. I'm just about ready to make some layouts. I stopped working on Disney so that I could start October Daily. I think I just had our EPCOT day left. But I have over 200 photos so that's going to be so fun. My daughter and I wore matching minnie mouse outfits and got pics with her!! This morning I had a small pile of scraps and 12X12 papers that needed to be cut and put away with like sizes and I did that. When I have a bunch of odd-sized scraps, I get out my simple stories templates and cut them down to 4X6, 4X4, 3X4, 3X3, and 2X2. That's very satisfying and cleans up a lot of extra stuff. Thank you all for helping me keep motivated. |

Work has been all consuming of my energy this week, setting small goals for the weekend:
1. Send my college girl a January mom note - it’s like a pocket letter only themed for her with little instax pics and usually a gift card or 2.
2. Move ikea desk hutch from garage into my new little craft room upstairs. My college girl used it in th3 dorm and it’s collecting dust. I got an ikea desk for Christmas for my storage/ non scrapbooking craft room and want to set it up in there so it gets used.
3. Finish a PL for 2022 or 2023. My motivation is already waning….

You all are so much more ambitious than me.  Update on my "tiny" goal: I do have the Stickles container pulled out and a piece of c/s waiting to test them on. Shouldn't take long to finish that. In the meantime I've found another task that I need to work on: organize and throw out old spices & seasonings. Last night while fixing supper I needed sage and realized that mine had expired 3 yrs ago. So I'll be rooting through that stuff and making a list of those that need replacing. (I'll bet my beaumonde is older than 3 yrs.  ) |

My goal this weekend is to go through my AE Story Kits and recent SC documenter kits and pre-plan pages using these kits. I have so many unused or barely used kits and I need to either use them or sell them. I started this project and already have pages planned (and photos ordered for) three kits!
